Embodiment Construction

[0050]FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C illustrate a preferred embodiment 5 of the Sensory Smoking Simulator, according to the invention. In the present embodiment, the Sensory Smoking Simulator 5 is shown having a main body 40 that includes two chambers 41 and 42 separated by a chamber divider 43. The chamber divider is extended across the main body 40. The lower chamber 42 has a screened window 10 located on the right side of said lower chamber 42, and a mouthpiece holder 14a, attached on the opposite left side. A mouthpiece 15 with a bitter taste similar to tobacco smoke, which includes an inner passage 14b, is secured to the left end of mouthpiece holder 14a. Two impellers 12 perform in the lower chamber 42 as an air motor; the impellers 12 are connected by shafts 16 to the other two impellers 29, which perform in the upper chamber 41 as a vacuum pump. Shafts 16 cross through chamber divider 43. A cover 32 is secured at the bottom of the main body 40 to close up the lower chamber 42. The lowe...

Abstract

The Sensory Smoking Simulator (5) performs by means of suction to draw smoke (33) from a cigarette (21a), only a small amount of which is smelled by the user (39). It is a main body (40) that includes an air motor (12) and a vacuum pump impellers (29) operating in two separate sections (41 and 42). The lower section (42) has a window (10) to connect with the ambient air and a mouthpiece (15) that yields a bitter taste. Means is provided so that when a person (39) inhales, air is draw into the lower section (42) and through the mouthpiece (15). The upper section chamber (41) has a cigarette receiver (24) and two passageways attached, one of them (35) to exhaust the cigarette smoke to ambient air, the other one (30) to let exhaust a lesser amount of smoke (33s) near the user's nose (31). The smell from cigarette smoke (33s) and the taste secreted from the mouthpiece (15) create a mental effect similar to that of smoking, but far less harmful to a person's health.
